Gives you a little bit of information about soccer development in a variety of different countries. Different chapters are written by different people so quality varies and information is a little out of context as only 1 chapter sometimes does not give you all the background info about an area. Also the information has not been updated since about 2003-4 in some cases so you still need to research the current status.
